so my front drivers side lower control arm bushing has gone out (due to bad shocks and springs up front), and was wondering what brand people prefer.

I found this on jeepinbyal:
http://jeepinbyal.com/prod-Strut_Fork_Bushing-492.aspx
(if link doesnt work product number: JBA-52088746AA)

I know you get what you pay for, but was wondering if anyone knows or thinks that these ought to be as good quality as the moog ones.

And one more thing, wanted last minute opinions from the experts here on the suspension I'm ordering in the next week:
OME 790/948 springs, HD front shocks, and some ex-length shocks in rear (adjustable, I believe the RSX series, only 2" less length at full extension than ome's). it's flat where I live, dont do hardly any flexing or riding trails.

Sorry for bringing up ANOTHER OME/lift topic, (read so many of them, just needed some opinions regarding my exact setup), and the only thing I could find in the forum about the bushing is that it SUCKS to remove.
Thanks,
David

790/948 combo is the best and about the only option for a CRD
It will work good with the right shocks, I'd go with OME shocks also make sure you get the 132Ls for the rear
The 790s in front will ride and handle great

Sweet, thanks. And with these I won't need the 4.5 arms for alignment would I since it will only be around 1.5" of lift?

Thanks for the help, finally got the OME goods, may have cheaped out on the shocks though, ran out of money (will get around when these rs5000's get nasty). Will definitely go with the OME shocks up front when these have but the dust though, just got impatient/have run short on time (going trail riding in some mountains in west Texas). Will begin install this weekend, hopefully will be a quicky, usually with me it's anything but that though. Thanks again, will let whoevers reading this reply know how it goes.
